residence last evening proved to be one
CT most pleasant affairs of the kind eyer
given in Ysnktop. The elaborate pro-

ton to conducting his extensive stock
farm. He has arranged for the necessary

yard struck the water bearing rock and
when a penetration of about three inches
had been made water TO the amount OF
about 200 gallons per minute began rum
